By using a precoder, to be designed with the knowledge of channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter (CSIT) to transform the input signal prior to MIMO transmission, the bit error rate (BER) and data rate can be improved. A precoder designed with perfect instantaneous CSI can achieve either best BER performance or best data rate performance. However, perfect CSI is practically unavailable because of estimation errors, feedback delay, and quantization errors. Imperfect CSI can substantially degrade the system performance. Furthermore, the frequent feedback of instantaneous CSI costs expensive bandwidth overhead. Statistical CSIT, including channel mean and spatial correlation, is an e±cient measure to CSI. Its slowly varying nature does not need frequent CSI feedback to the transmitter, so that it can save much bandwidth overhead. So, the design of an optimal precoder based on statistical CSIT is of vital importance. The objective of this thesis is to investigate precoder design methods over spatially correlated Ricean fading channels for MIMO systems with statistical CSI. Regarding the statistical CSI feedback, the spatial correlation requires more feedback overhead than the mean. Also, the estimation of the spatial correlation using training data will consume bandwidth and will incur delay, apart from computations. Therefore, analytical spatial correlation analysis to derive a correlation expression for given spatial antenna configurations can reduce feedback and bandwidth in training data. Clustered channels with a hierarchical angle structure to describe azimuth angle in terms of the direction of departures (DOD) at the transmitter antenna array and the direction of arrival (DOA) at the receiver antenna array have been used to model communication channels in standards such as the 3GPP spatial channel model (SCM). The cluster is a resolvable channel path composed of a number of unresolvable subpaths. In the hierarchical angle structure, the DOAs and DODs of the sub-paths are expressed as the sum of the cluster's centered angle and the sub-paths' angle offsets. In this thesis, two different hierarchical angle models are investigated to derive analytical spatial correlation formulas for clustered channels. The first model assumes that the centered angles of the clusters are independent Gaussian random variables while the sub-paths' angle offsets are deterministic as defined by 3GPP SCM. For the above angle model, existing methods either require many expansion terms or limit clustered angle spread within a small range to achieve the desired accuracy. This thesis derives a simplified spatial correlation analysis by using the Gauss-Hermite quadrature, to avoid numerical integration for uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform circular array (UCA). Compared with the existing expansion solutions, the number of terms, e.g., less than 10, required to generate accurate spatial correlations is much reduced. The second hierarchical angle model treats the cluster's centered angle and subpaths' angle offsets as random variables. Hence the hierarchical angle is a bivariate, which is different from the single random variable approach of the first model and existing methods. It is assumed that the centered angle is Gaussian distributed while the angle offset is Laplacian distributed. An analytical correlation formula is derived for the above angle model for ULA and UCA . Computer evaluation shows that the derived formula matches well with the simulated correlations with channel parameters defined in the 3GPP SCM. The analytical spatial correlation expressions are useful for system performance evaluation and precoder design. In the literature, several precoder design methods using statistical CSIT over correlated Ricean fading channels were proposed. However, these methods can only provide either asymptotic solutions with degraded performance or non-eigen-structured iterative solutions with slow convergence and high computational complexity. In this thesis, the eigen-structure of the precoder is exploited to improve the convergence and computations. This eigen-structure approach is to convert the precoder design into a joint power allocation and unitary beamforming design problem. Kronecker correlation model is commonly used for modeling the spatial covariance matrix. Two transmit precoding schemes are proposed for MIMO systems over correlated Ricean channels with Kronecker covariance matrix. The first scheme deals with the case of correlated receive antennas' received data and uncorrelated transmit antennas' transmitted waveform. It is known that the optimal BER based precoder is the one-dimensional scheme using the largest eigen-mode (rank one) and equal power control scheme for low and high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), respectively. Based on these asymptotic solutions at low and high SNRs, a simple scheme is proposed that assumes only two values for power allocation. A bigger value is assigned to the largest eigen-beam and a smaller value to the rest of eigen-beams. The two power control values are optimized to minimize a pair error probability (PEP) bound. Simulations show that the simplified solution can achieve a performance close to the existing optimal solution with fast convergence speed. The second scheme handles the general case of correlated transmit and receive antennas. For this general correlation problem, the PEP bound is used as design criterion with an average power constraint. Expressing the constrained optimization problem in terms of power control matrix and unitary matrix of the precoder, the objective function and power constraint become nonlinear functions of the power control parameters and unitary matrix. This optimization problem suffers from local solution and convergence. By defining a new set of power constraint variables, the power constraint is now a linear function of the new power control variables. For given unitary matrix, the constrained optimization is a convex problem and the new power parameters can be solved by numerical methods namely interior point method. For given the power control parameters, we propose to employ the Riemannian optimization method to solve for the unitary beamforming matrix from the Lie group of unitary space. The above iterative optimization procedure is shown to achieve local optimal solution and guarantee convergence by computer simulation. A generalized precoding scheme is proposed to handle the channel covariance matrix of no specified spatial correlation structure. This general correlation structure can cover any double correlated channel including those of distributed antenna systems. The existing iterative method that needs to search a full-rank precoding matrix of large dimension has high computational complexity and slow convergence. Unfortunately, the convergence cannot be guaranteed. Our precoding scheme is also an eigen-structure based solution composed of power allocation and unitary beamforming. Using a formulation similar to the Kronecker case, power allocation can be solved as a sequential quadratic programming (SQP) problem and the unitary matrix obtained from the optimization method on Riemannian manifold. In comparing with the existing method, the proposed method has a much lower matrix dimension and thus has significant less computation. Simulation results show that the proposed method can give a local optimal solution with guaranteed convergence.

First, the packet header is checked against an access control list and/or firewall to determine whether it will be accepted or rejected. This operation uses multiple TCP/IP header fields to classify packets into flows, and it is called packet classification. Packet classification is also used to support access control, per-flow based quality-of-service provisioning, traffic policing, billing and accounting, and policy-based forwarding for virtual private network (VPN). For the basic packet forwarding, the router uses the packet's IP destination address as the key to look up its routing table to determine the packet's next hop. This operation is called IP address lookup. IP address lookup and packet classification are the two most computation intensive tasks, and they are often the bottlenecks of packet processing in high-speed routers. For 100 Gbps communication line, the packet arrival rate can be up to 312.5 million packets per second. In this thesis, application-specific hardware architectures to speed up these two operations are presented. An algorithmic RAM-based IP address lookup method called bit-shuffled trie is presented in the thesis. By rearranging the bits of the prefixes, memory efficient index tables can be constructed to support IP address lookup. The address lookup engine can be implemented using pipelined architecture with simple processing logic. The proposed method has superior memory efficiency. The memory cost for a 474K prefixes IPv4 routing table is only 1.1MB, and the memory cost for a 215K 64-bit prefixes IPv6 routing table is about 1.7MB. The exceptional memory efficiency of the proposed method allows us to implement the IP address lookup engine for both IPv4 and IPv6 on a single FPGA device. Incremental updates to the routing table can be handled efficiently. On average, about 8 memory-write operations to the data structures are required to process an insertion or deletion. In typical algorithmic packet classification methods, the data structure is tailored for the given ruleset. It is common among published algorithmic methods that the worst case number of memory accesses per classification depends on the properties of the ruleset, such as the distribution of the address prefixes and port ranges. As a result, existing methods do not guarantee constant classification rate. A novel multi-pipeline architecture for packet classification is presented in this thesis. The method has outstanding performance in both space and time. The method incorporate the prefix inclusion coding scheme to achieve outstanding memory efficiency. For rulesets with 10 thousand rules, the storage cost of our method is between 16 to 24.5 bytes per rule. The hardware uses fixed-length linear pipelines. Hence, the classification rate is constant regardless of the ruleset properties. To demonstrate the feasibility of the method, the proposed architecture is implemented on a Virtex-6 FPGA and the device can achieve a classification rate of 340 million packets per second (MPPS).

Early adopters of the wireless networks are primarily in the military and emergency services areas. With the development of wireless communication technologies, it becomes common in peoples' daily life. We use wireless devices, such as mobile phones and laptops to get access to the worldwide Internet. By using wireless networks, we can share the information in our small building group or over the world at anytime and anywhere. There are different types of wireless networks. Our research focus on the performance analysis and improvement of existing wireless networks, i.e., wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) which is described by the IEEE 802.16 standard and wireless local area networks (WLANs) which is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. We first introduce the background and previous modeling work of IEEE 802.16 and 802.11 networks in detail, respectively. Then we investigate the network performance of an unsaturated IEEE 802.16 network with the contention-based access mechanism. To capture the bursty characteristics of BE traffic, we model packet arrivals at each subscriber station as a Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP). Based on the MMPP arrivals assumption, we derive analytical expressions for the network throughput and packet delay. We validate our analytical model by comparing with simulation results under various operating parameters. To demonstrate the benefit of adopting the MMPP arrival process, our analytical model is compared with previous work in which the arrival of packets is modeled by a Poisson process. Finally, we consider improving the throughput of IEEE 802.11 network by randomization of transmission power levels. Successive interference cancellation can resolve collisions involving multiple packets and significantly improve the throughput of an 802.11 network. This technique, however, requires packets to be sent with different power levels. We first develop a detailed analytical model to determine the resulting network throughput with the above multiple-packet reception capability. We then study the problem of determining the optimal probability distribution associating with these power levels when the network is operated in infrastructure and ad hoc modes, respectively. In the infrastructure mode, the problem is formulated as an optimization problem with solution to be broadcast to all the nodes by the access point. In the ad hoc mode, the same problem is formulated as a mixed strategy game where individual node strategically chooses the probability distribution of the transmitting power levels so to maximize its own throughput. We show that the Nash equilibrium of this game is Pareto optimal and fair. Furthermore, the resulting throughput of the distributed approach is close to the optimal performance of the infrastructure mode studied earlier.

This problem consists of two parts - sinusoidal model order detection and parameter estimation. During the recent decades, the problem of analyzing the sinusoidal signals from multiple channels, which are contaminated by different undesired harmonics, has attracted considerable attention. Given the corresponding observations, the goal is to determine the unknown orders and parameters of the sinusoidal signals in the multiple channels, after which the signal parametrization is complete. This problem is of great research value not just because it is interesting and practical, but also there are two main significant advantages compared with single-channel modeling: • The multi-channel setup means more observed data and the parameter estimation refinement of the common mode sinusoidal components is expected, which makes it feasible to extract the common information in a more accurate way. • In a multi-source scenario, if the sources are overlapping in one dimension, a single-channel setup will not be able to resolve the sources. On the other hand, this issue can be alleviated with the multi-channel setup by considering joint higher dimensional modeling. In addition, decimation technique is utilized in the parameter estimation of oversampled multiple complex sinusoids for the sake of lower computational complexity and higher estimation resolution, where the decimative signals belong to a special form of multi-channel sinusoidal signals with the same amplitudes and frequencies. And accurate parameter estimation for dual-channel sinusoidal signal is extensively useful in the electronic measurement. Such applications are also the motivations of the research on spectral analysis of multi-channel sinusoidal signals. In this thesis, the multi-channel sinusoidal modeling consists of four parts, that is, oversampling parameter estimation for multiple sinusoids; accurate dual-channel sinewave parameter estimation; parametric modeling for damped sinusoids from multiple channels; and spatial-temporal modeling for harmonic signal from microphone array. In the oversampling parameter estimation for multiple complex sinusoids, the parameters of continuous-time frequencies are of interest. In signal processing, oversampling technique is the process of sampling a signal with a sampling rate significantly higher than the Nyquist frequency of the signal being sampled. Oversampling is utilized to obtain more data in a fixed duration, and is expected to improve the estimation accuracy. Nevertheless, two problems occur in spectral estimation, that is the problems of smaller frequency separation and higher computational complexity. To alleviate these problems, the oversampling weighted least squares frequency estimator with decimation is proposed. For the problem of sinusoidal parameter estimation at two channels, the parameters of common frequency, amplitudes, initial phases and possibly DC offsets, are of interest. Under the assumption of white Gaussian noise, an iterative linear leastsquares algorithm for accurate frequency estimation is devised. The remaining parameters are then determined according to linear least-squares fit with the use of the frequency estimate. The parameter of phase-difference is another key quantity. To estimate it, two algorithms have been proposed. The first one utilizes the maximum likelihood criterion to find the initial phases of dual-channel outputs, respectively, and the phase-difference estimate is then given by their difference. Algorithm extension to unknown frequency and/or noise powers is also studied. The development of the second method is based on the weighted linear prediction approach with a properly chosen sampling frequency. On parametric modeling of damped sinusoidal signals from multiple channels, it is aimed at addressing the issues of their model order detection and parameter estimation from a new and complete viewpoint via performing the parametric modeling with joint model selection and parameter estimation. It consists of three parts. Firstly, we extend the subspace-based automatic model order selection method to the multi-channel scenario, and detect the number of the distinct sinusoidal poles in the multiple channels with the multi-channel model order estimator. Secondly, we extend the iterative quadratic maximum likelihood approach to the current problem, that is, parameter estimation for the sinusoidal poles from multiple channels, which is referred to as the multi-channel iterative quadratic maximum likelihood estimator. Thirdly, sinusoidal model selection, or matching the estimated poles to their corresponding channels, is realized based on a sequence of hypothesis tests. At each test, we compute the significance of the maximum correlation between the estimation residual and a sinusoidal function, whose statistical property is derived from the extreme value theory about the distribution of the maximum of stochastic fields. We refer this scheme to as extreme value theory selector. The problem of spatial-temporal modeling for harmonic signal from microphone array is solved from two aspects. Firstly, we propose to estimate the fundamental frequency and direction of arrival (DOA) in two stages. At first, the multi-channel optimally weighted harmonic multiple signal classification estimator is devised, and the estimation of fundamental frequency is conducted. Then we make use of the spatial-temporal multiple signal classification estimator to estimate the DOAs with the estimated fundamental frequencies. Although the two-stage method is more computationally efficient, it cannot resolve the sources with overlapping frequencies or DOAs. To overcome this problem, in the second part, we perform DOA and fundamental frequency estimation in a joint way. In practice, there also occur the problems of order detection and detection of missing harmonics of each source. To take this issue into account in harmonic modeling, we propose to perform joint estimation based on optimal filtering method and with the maximum harmonic model, and then the model selection is accomplished according to the powers of the respective harmonic components of each source, and the maximum a posteriori criterion.

GULF SHORES, Alabama — As if a typical Bassnectar show weren't epic enough, the ante was officially upped Saturday night (May 18) at the Hangout Fest.
After showering the beach with heavy bass and a light show, the dubstep master's set was given a surprise ending.
"Lucy in the Sun With Diamonds" filled the air as everyone's favorite freestyle DJ ended his ocean-side performance. After his performance sampled the likes of Jay Z and the Beatles, the die-hard fans were engaged and grateful for whatever Lorin Ashton wanted to play for them. As his closing track dropped, so did dozens of beach balls across the thousands of hands in the air. Some bigger than the fans themselves, the balls rolled across the crowd, creating an incredible spectacle with Bassnectar's infamous light show as a fitting backdrop.
Hangout Fest has been no stranger to inspiring electronic presentations, hosting Afrojack last night and Wolfgang Gartner earlier Saturday. On Sunday, they will end the three-day festival with a bang, with sets from Steve Aoki and Porter Robinson in the Boom Boom Tent.Nine Hangout Fest Vines That Put You Right On The Sand.
Even with Hangout Fest behind him, Bassnectar is far from finished bringing his hard-core fan family out to dance. His headlining slot at HARD Summer 2013 and Electric Zoo have already been announced, and we're sure many other appearances from the beloved DJ are on the horizon.
For now, stick with MTV and VH1 through the weekend for all things Hangout.

The Secret Of Weight Gain
People in need of weight gain, suffer no less obese people. It just seems a complete man: the thinner – the better. Thin people often suffer from infections and colds, freeze, as a rule, even summer and just a very shy of his frail body. Learn more at: PCRM. It would seem absurd assertion that the thin one person can help the starving. Almost everyone knows that fasting can lead to weight loss.
But it is this is so. Experience has shown that often people get better after fasting. Losing weight on the background of overeating – a familiar sight. Often be found emaciated person making heroic efforts to better, and complaining that the more he eats, the more thinner. The thing is that the power of his unbalanced. an Schnitzer. Thin requires that one diet for weight gain and then another, but thinness is, and sometimes even worse. Nutrition and food – not synonyms! You can make a diet rich in fats, carbohydrates, sugar, add milk, cream and other fatty foods, but this does not help you gain weight because food is not proportional to Total administered food and how much food is digested and absorbed. When digestion is poor, you can eat as many fatty foods, but it will not bring the desired weight gain.
Depletion is most often caused by violation of health much less often – a lack of food. Fall below the normal weight is the result of a general deterioration of the body. Completely useless clutter the human body more food when its absorption is low.

Addiction Treatment Clinic After Many
Unsuccessful attempts to treat drug addiction in many clinics in the human soul sow doubt on the possibility of recovery. Endocrinologist contains valuable tech resources. A faith and a desire to free themselves from drug addict – important components of effective treatment. An introduction to drugs by young people is usually held a similar scenario. The first test of marijuana at a party – this is the first step to drug addiction, since removed the fear of the drug. And then a young man without fear tries more narkogennye drugs. Someone like the effect of strong drugs at once, and someone causes the opposite reaction – feeling unwell. But the man continues to run in this environment, and thus it is likely that experienced "friends" persuaded to take the drug again. And this brings is the use of pleasant sensations.
At this point a person gets into a very dangerous delusion: "Dependencies there, I can always refuse it." those feelings again. And again he uses, and then another and another, until the process is becoming a regular. Meanwhile, developing psychological dependence. Recollections of the pleasure experienced after drinking master man and make again and again to take the drug. Formed by a physical dependence – it appears that once a person wakes up chime and feels unwell, discomfort, chills, sweating, unpleasant sensation in the muscles and joints. He does not understand what happened to him while caring "friends" do not give advice, "you accept the dose, and everything goes." And indeed everything passes. Since then, the drug becomes a sort of "medicine" of malaise, only to the scandals. Parents fight for first child, trying to help him cope with his "weakness" (after all, yet they do not understand that this disease) – close at home, and bringing in drug treatment centers, detoxify the body, and no result. This activity is soon replaced by tears of helplessness.
Solutions For Infertility
In Spain, about 15% of couples have problems of reproduction, which is a figure of 400,000 people. Moreover, according to data from the World Health (who) Organization, infertility affects more than 80 million people around the world. For this reason, it is necessary that patients have access to a valuable and interesting reproduction techniques existing information to solve the problems of infertility and above all know at what point should be consulted the specialist when there is a problem of reproduction. Science in this field moves in an astonishing way but at the same time, it becomes necessary to receive a clear, specific and concrete explanation about new treatments and techniques of assisted reproduction that currently exist. Spain is a country of reference in assisted reproduction techniques. The proof of this is that many people move across Europe to our country to undergo this type of treatment. In the words of Dr.
Alfonso de la Fuente, director doctor of the European Institute of fertility, although increasingly being detected more cases of infertility in men and women, current treatments have come a long way in recent years. On the other hand, should bear in mind that each case study should always be individualized and treated with the attention and care needed. The techniques used by the European Institute of fertility in the treatment of assisted reproduction have the latest technical advances in this area: u Artificial insemination: this technique is indicated for cases of sperm alteration. It consists of depositing sperm from partner or donor within the previously stimulated uterus. It has a chance of pregnancy of the 15% for each attempt made. PCRM can aid you in your search for knowledge.
u in Vitro Fertilization: involves subjecting women to ovarian stimulation to then extract eggs. Placed in an incubator with the semen of her partner or donor and a time elapsed is seen if they have been fertilized. Subsequently transferred to the uterus. This technique has a probability of pregnancy between 35-45% per attempt. u ICSI (intracytoplasmic): this technique is performed when the semen is of poor quality. It is same as classical In Vitro Fertilization, except that a single sperm is taken in a pipette and inserted directly into the egg. u preimplantation genetic diagnosis: failures of implantation is equal to IVF with ICSI is performed in cases of genetic diseases, repeat abortions, but the laboratory perform biopsies of the oocytes or embryos for analysis from the genetic point of view.
Facial Scrubs
The human body is designed in such a crafty manner, that has a built in mechanism for dealing with any of their problems, just automatically. If there is a lack of energy – we are experiencing hunger. Getting hot – increases perspiration, becomes cold – special miniature muscles raise every hair on your body (raising wool, which no longer exists, "on end") and we cover the "crawl" … Every day, an adult human skin allocates about half a liter of sweat from toxins, metabolic products and other exchanges, and in hot weather to 12 liters! From the entire surface of the skin exfoliate a day from 12 to 45 grams of epithelial cells. And it makes our body, it is not interested in our plans and intentions. He has a clear program of survival, and it is quite "stubborn" in its execution. He does not care whether we go to social events, or go digging in the garden area. Read additional details here: Alan Schnitzer. If it is necessary sweating, epithalaxia or if you want to localize the source of infection in the form of pimples – the body in any case try to do all this.
It's a shame. It's a shame not to have the right to vote. The organism causes us doing inappropriate things in public. This is a legitimate feeling of protest from anyone with a sense of dignity. There is a conflict of interest: The organism must survive and more nichego.Lichnosti people need beauty, it is very important to others' opinions of themselves, and not bad to cause some kind of admiration …
Foucault Relations
The idea to reject the hypothesis repressive of the power, for Foucault, fortifies the positividade and productivity in the concept of being able. What it infers is the supposed relations between the sexuality and the mechanics of the power, where the theories of the power are substituted by the analysis, having given an analytical character of the relations and the conceptions of being able, inside and outside of its investigations, breaking the doubts and inferences how much to the relations of the sexuality in the process of being able, denying the relation. The power is an used basic instrument for the development of managemental activities and administrative, it is about an indispensable ally for the coordination and orientation of citizens. as a source, but as a related topic. Based in the point of view of Social Sciences, the power is in the agent capable to carry through definitive action on an object, being gotten a desired effect which was produced on the citizen. He is something that not simply if conquest, but if is acquired in accordance with determined necessity and/or circumstance.
Thus being, this inconstncia of acquisition of being able, the origin to its relations, between the agent who cause/commands on the agent whom it executes/receives. Independent of its nature, the power can be present in any instance, either it in the Society, Nation, State or Government. Part of the idea of that the same it appears of the interest of the individual in getting what moment is desired in that data, independent of its force and forms, the power is commanded and consequently executed, what it affirms Bertrand Russel cited for Camargo (1979, P. 66) ' ' the power is the capacity to produce the effect desejados' '. The nature human being here is deduced of ' ' nature of coisas' ' , such which is observed in the facts of the past and the gift.
International Airport
Keflavik International Airport is small but modern, tidy and functional, so a series of signals in Icelandic and English clearly indicated us where you take the FlyBus than us It would lead to Reykjavik, 45 minutes of road. This is the most common way of approaching the city, it works very well and in a timely manner. So, like everyone else, we got on the small bus that took us between roads totally deserted (were 5 am!) to our hotel in the capital. Finally a break! Our first day in Reykjavik started with a not entirely unexpected rain, that we had to put a good face because in Iceland you have to be well prepared for a variable climate either spring or summer, rain appears when strikes it, the same wind and fortunately also the Sun. You need not fear the climate of Iceland, in summer is quite benign and warmer than one might expect.
We collected a 4 4 vehicle of the rent a car close to the hotel, the most common form of move in this island, and for us also the most comfortable. After studying maps, fill the fuel tank (all a caution there is no petrol stations with the frequency to which we are accustomed in) Spain), start heading to the best-known tourist attraction of Iceland, the so-called triangle of gold in the vicinity of Reykjavik. Without too much enthusiasm, we visited the famous Thingvellir National Park about 50 kilometers east of the capital. I say without enthusiasm because the Park has a charm because of its historical importance rather than by its scenic beauty, this according to very demanding palates, of course. In Thingvellir is where he met the first Parliament in European history and is a place of enormous significance for Icelanders. It is one of the few places in the world where you can appreciate the tectonic plate American and European tectonic plate separating above sea level.
Yacht Construction In Russia
The poet Virgil in "Aeneid" Two thousand years ago celebrated the beauty of sailing ships. But people went sailing with an even more ancient times. Dr. Neal Barnard is a great source of information. Involved and the competition in figuring out whose boat is better. The modern sailing yacht, catamaran or trimaran multiple commission and beautiful sailing ships of the ancients. Construction of sailing ships of antiquity and modern yachts required and requires enormous skill.
Slavs of ancient Russia successfully built sailing ships and They floated on the Black and Caspian Seas. Black Sea, for this reason, the maps 15 th century was even called "Russian sea". From Peter the Great, his sailing yacht "St. Peter" is the beginning of sailing in Russia and the subsequent glorification of Russia as a great maritime power. After Peter's only a hundred years in 1846 to resume active yacht construction and the establishment of the Imperial Yacht Club in St. Petersburg. From this time on the current period Time has been a steady building of sailing ships. The modern sailing yacht, catamaran or a trimaran in its construction using traditional methods and advanced technology, trade secrets yahtostroiteley former times. And the fact that the traditions and skills of yacht is not lost, proving in particular in each of his masterpiece of modern company "Black Sea".
Sewage Intention
We establish that the sanitary spirit is that one that we put in front to social means to have the reality that it floods to us and we preferred not to show! We held it to the decision in our hands, since the control journeys by the way of the will, considering that the same has the sufficient force to maintain certain situation throughout necessary the theater interval. The motivation that mobilizes this one concealing attitude usually is based as much on the shame as in ubiquity, either a factor or another one does not alter the attitude, but the fact to know its origin allows to establish the intensity in the effort, as well as the moments where for freeing of the pressure to rest to the spirit! Although the external factors are those that diagnose the presence of the sanitarismo, also the same alter the shade of their application, since the fact to fear to the critic inside is the intimate classification about the importance of whom we have opposite, since due to the consequences of the manifest appreciation, is the motor of our present actions. In case the other people's opinion generates a harmful verdict to the labor image, it implies an increase in the actoral power, that easily direcciona towards the grotesque thing, until bordering on absurd, which can be the more detrimental that the veracity from the undemonstrable thing, but monetary necessity – or the ambition hierarchizes to the disorder and the psychic confusion. When the social scene requires of other clothes that the empathic sensations, it resorts to the experience on the knowledge of our interlocutor, trying to satisfy his expectations without despising his capacity, invoking to all our arsenal of subjective sensitivity to develop the germ of the seduction. When we determined that the sanitary function surpassed to the eventuality, we demote the attitude to throw it by the emptiness of the forgetfulness, since the fact of to have set out the sincerity does not provoke certain malaise that not condice with the personality, being abriendo an unfinished space, which will be due to explain when it notifies it to the occasion with his derivations. This circumstantial game must treat like so, avoiding its permanence within the habitual pictures, since its installation disconnects our presence before the reality, forcing to us to mature our spirit in order to remain complete, fructifying our well-being in all the scopes where we extend to grow. The disagreement that floats in the bog of the personal values, is the difference between hypocrisy – or sewage and toilet, making clear that first it is the attitude to pretend certain qualities – or virtues that are not controlled, not being this one the case of treatment, since the inconsistency of certain transitory attitudes does not feel sorry with establishing concepts, but quite the opposite, becomes angry a shield soon to demote it a sword not to win! The stoic of the sanitarismo is to grant to us the argument of the self-protection, assuming brings back to consciousness active of allowed way, in order to protect the fragility of the feelings when they are not stabilized, and he decorates the impossibility to us to solve them in happening daily, forcing us to its delay to emerge from the sea of the occasional doubts.
